andy assemble flip healthy jeff last team
It's a different team in two ways. One, we don't have Carlos Beltran , Jeff Kent and Jeff Bagwell . On the flip side, we didn't have a healthy Andy Pettitte (last year). ... I'd like to assemble a team with last year's lineup and this year's pitching.
concern deal great powerful
It's a great deal of concern for us, a very powerful storm.
beer bounce eat friendship game guy locker meals next prefer sitting stinks talk
It stinks for me, because he's the guy that I could really bounce things off of. He's the guy who I would have a beer with after the game and talk about the game with. The guy I went to eat meals with. Certainly, our friendship doesn't end because he may not ever play again. But I would prefer to have him sitting next to me in the locker room.

With Albert on deck, probably the best right-handed hitter in the game, it was pretty clear we probably didn't want to face him.
arm ball jump seems shortened
With the shortened arm path, the ball seems to jump a little better,
andy good pair people roger roy step win
We have to go out and win with what we have. We know Roy and Andy are 1-2 around here, and that's the way it was before Roger got here. We need people to step up and perform, but we're not worried. Roy and Andy are a pretty good pair of pitchers.
guy jumping
I probably was the only guy not jumping around in the dugout.
ball close definitive tag throw turn
In my mind, if I think it's close I'm going to tag him or throw the ball to first, or turn around and look at the umpire, show him the ball and get a definitive out call.
across behind certainly game guy staring
In a game like this you certainly want to win, because the guy behind you in the standings is staring at you across the field.
